Senior Robotics Engineer, Data Collection
GRAM, San Francisco Bay Area, California +1
About the job
The Mission
GRAM is a self replication company creating populations of insectoids for the physical economy.
Our first research frontier is self-preservation: the base case of physical self-replication. Our machines will survive, coordinate, and recover without humans. We believe scalable machine labor requires more than single-agent task generality or machines shaped in our image.
About the role
You will own the systems and methods that generate high-quality robot data from physical work, spanning demonstration, teleoperation, intervention, autonomous operation, instrumentation, operator tooling, scenario execution, and source-quality control. You will translate capability gaps into collection campaigns and use measured downstream results to decide what the machines should experience next.
This is a senior engineering role responsible for how experience is produced and validated at capture, including meaningful variation, failures, recoveries, and episode-level evidence. You also define the capture contracts that keep recorded experience usable for reproducible datasets and replay. Success means each campaign yields data that can change a training or evaluation decision—not operating hours without learning value.
